Hicks is the poster boy for rhythm and tempo. His delivery is as smooth and fluid as honey.
Jordan grew up in Texas playing soccer and football. Tackling multiple sports is gold and it gave him hand-body coordination and blurring foot speed. When he was 15, he got lucky. He injured his leg. Unable to blur he turned to the hill.
When Jordan was diagnosed with type-I diabetes he lost 35 pounds and went on a strict diet and exercise regimen to build solid muscle.
Hicks strengthened his arm playing catch with a softball and was clocked at 87 mph when he was 17. A year later it jumped to 93. In A ball he torched 100.
Rhythm.
Tempo.
Multiple sports.
Power and arm strength.
